My wife recently developed an allergy to cats so we had to find a new home for our two…

I really don’t have enough information to provide specific advice. The cats likely feel very stressed and upset to be in a strange environment, and perhaps use urine (their own scent) to make themselves feel more secure. It might also be that they see or smell strange cats outside the house, and that’s prompting the behavior. Or possibly the stress has brought on a bout of cystitis that needs to be addressed by a veterinarian (always a good idea to have a vet check in these cases).

The new family should invest in a good odor-neutralizer product that thoroughly cleans the urine stains. Otherwise, the lingering scent inspires the cats to return to the scene of the crime and re-baptize the furniture. Also, I like the pheromone product Feliway as a stress-buster for cats in these circumstances. It comes as a plug-in, available from pet products stores or over the Internet. You might also try providing a couple of scented Tee shirts that you and your wife have worn but not washed, to put in the cats’ beds as a comforting reminder.
